No change last quarter
The number of hedge funds holding this stock didn't change last quarter. Neither a buying nor selling signal on its own — watch the next quarter for direction.
📊
High ownership — 76% of 3.0Y peak
76% of all-time peak
42 funds currently hold this stock — 76% of the 3.0-year high of 55 funds (reached 2025 Q2). Ownership is elevated but not yet at maximum concentration. Room to grow, but watch if the trend reverses.
📉
Outflows — 21% fewer funds vs a year ago
fund count last 6Q
11 fewer hedge funds hold this stock compared to a year ago (-21% decline). When institutions consistently reduce exposure, it's worth asking what they know that retail investors don't.
🔴
Heavy selling pressure — only 36% buying
8 buying14 selling
Last quarter: 14 funds sold vs only 8 buyers. This is widespread institutional distribution — not a few funds rebalancing, but a broad exit. High conviction bearish signal.
➡️
Steady new buyers — ~3 new funds per quarter
new funds entering per quarter
Funds opening this position for the first time: 3 → 9 → 3 → 3. A stable flow of new institutional buyers suggests ongoing interest without signs of either acceleration or slowdown.
🔒
64% of holders stayed for 2+ years
■ 64% conviction (2yr+)
■ 21% medium
■ 14% new
27 out of 42 hedge funds have held this stock for over 2 years without selling. Long-term holders are harder to shake out during market dips — they represent a stable ownership base that reduces the risk of sudden mass selling.
💎
Buying through price weakness — shares -1%, value -99%
Last quarter: funds added -1% more shares while total portfolio value only changed -99%. Institutions were buying while the price was falling — a high-conviction accumulation signal. They're deliberately loading up on the dip.
⚠️
Saturation — most institutions already know this story
7 → 3 → 9 → 3 → 3 new funds/Q
New funds entering each quarter: 3 → 9 → 3 → 3. Far fewer institutions are entering now vs. a year ago. When the pool of potential new buyers shrinks this fast, future price support from institutional inflows weakens significantly.
🏛️
Deep conviction — 60% of holders stayed 2+ years
■ 60% veterans
■ 19% 1-2yr
■ 21% new
Of 42 current holders: 25 (60%) have held for over 2 years without selling. These are not momentum buyers — they have lived through drawdowns and stayed. A large veteran base acts as a stabilizing force during selloffs.
📋
Smaller funds dominant — 19% top-100 AUM
19% from top-100 AUM funds
Only 8 of 42 current holders rank in the top 100 by AUM. The stock is held mostly by smaller and mid-sized funds — the largest institutional players haven't yet built significant positions.
Exit risk score 2.9/10 — low institutional crowding. Ownership is below peak levels, holder base is relatively sticky, and buying momentum is positive.
